Hi, I'm Annie!
I'm the owner and director of Center Stage Dance Studio which I founded in 2007. I have over twenty years of teaching experience and holds a Master’s Degree in Human Movement Education from Boston University, where I was a member of Phi Lambda Theta honor society. Certified as a Group Fitness and Yoga Instructor (AFAA), Pilates Mat Instructor (Physical Mind Institute), and Personal Trainer (ISSA), my extensive performance resume includes five seasons as a New England Patriots Cheerleader, performances with Ricky Martin, and appearances at Super Bowl XXXVI.
​​
I've taught and choreographed nationwide, including at Boston University and the American College Dance Festival. My dancers have performed throughout New England and at major events like the MLS Championship Halftime Show with Christina Aguilera. I have also coached the nationally ranked BU Terriers cheerleading team and trained at renowned institutions like Steps on Broadway and Broadway Dance Center in NYC. Outside the studio, I enjoy family time with my husband, Michael, and our two children.
